Good camera to take pictures of games?

I got interested in taking photos when I was you my friends moms camera to take pictures of her at a game( she's in drill team) and I really want to take photography up as a hobby. I want a camera that takes good event pictures. I thought getting the nikon d3200 but some people didn't like how it worked but then I saw the nikon d3300 and nobody had anything bad to say about. Except one guy who said it didn't have AEB but I don't think I need that.

I have a friend that does photography for a career and I heard him talk about the D3300. You said that you are wanting to take photography up as a hobby, If I was you II would go with the D3300. Here is a bundle that has everything you will need to get started. http://amzn.to/...to/1u3YpYh

I have been a working pro for over 35 years and never found the need for auto bracketing.

If it needs bracketing (as in shooting to produce HDR images), I need the control of picking the correct under, over and normally exposed frames… Some situations require up to seven different exposures.

You are buying a fully adjustable camera and I think one of the reasons for doing that is to be able to control your images… Balancing ISO, shutter speed and lens aperture, picking the lens you want when shooting certain subjects and one that fits well in your hands

The Nikon D3200 has the advantage of being on sale right now for under $480 with a 18-55 mm lens. It is with this lens you will start to learn the fundamentals of photography.

In the first years that digital SLR cameras became available, they cost in the neighborhood of $35,000 and had a 2 mp sensor.

When the Nikon D100 came out in 2002 and it cost less than $2,000, that was a huge breakthrough. I used two of them professionally for many years and its 6 mp sensor produce many images that were published in magazines and on the vergening websites of those days.

Times have changed and we have seriously affordable dSLR cameras, but the techniques needed to use them are still the same as when we all shot film.

* using the lightmeter to pick the right exposure
* producing amazing photo compositions
* being able to produce marketable images on demand
* using the camera as part of our way of seeing the world.

Events are tricky to take. You need a wide angle lens to cover as much of the crowd as possible but at the same time have enough telephoto power to capture a face in the crowd or on stage at any given moment. This is where those super zoom lenses will come in handy but to keep image quality as high as possible, I'd recommend at least an 18-135mm or better yet, a 16-105mm. I obviously put weight more on the wide end. You will definitely have to move around a lot to get the right angles but you can have fun doing that.

The camera? Any will do. The lens is the key here.
